I need some help

I need some help

2007-02-17 by lsf5275@aol.com

Many, if not most of you, know me. I need some help. I need to borrow a tape frame with Mellotron vibes on it. I don't care what the other sounds are. I need the frame by next weekend and I am willing to pay shipping costs both ways and to insure the frame. If you are not sure about me, ask your friends. I am willing to offer a good faith deposit if that is required. Can anyone help? I need it here by Friday and will ship it back next Monday. I have the Pinder CDROM, but I really need the real thing. Also, the tapes need to be in good shape.
My Mellotron is meticulously maintained. The headblock is demagnetized regularly and the machine is in exquisite condition. If you want to learn more, you can see it at www.myspace.com/trondoc. It is #1562. These tapes will be used for a recording session. Your name will be mentioned on the CD.

Ok folks, you heard the man; get 'em out by Friday!

(I can see this being the Genesis of a whole new thread, as we Foxtrot
to the tune from The Musical Box.....OW! Who threw that?)

Your alliteration ain't bad either.

I understand the obsession with using the real thing but geez the
vibes on the Pinder CD sound pretty good to me:)

Yeah, me too. That's probably the way we'll go.
